Be very patient, friends. The cards are works of art, worth waiting for.

Note from N6TA [22 Jul 2017]

Took 3 cards with 2x GS ea dating to 2014. His emails acknowledged RX of my card & GSs saying he would send out a card. 3rd try was a 'card' I made needing a signature, with 2x GS. Finally got a card with apology. He has cards to send.

Have sent green stamps and qsl card twice, but no return qsl. Have emailed 3 or 4 times, but no reply. I just don't know about this guy.

Note from HA1RW [08 Jan 2016]

I sent Esmond my QSL request via registered mail but I never received his card.

Note from W3IY [19 Dec 2015]

Sent 3 cards and green stamps at different times, nothing no cards returned. He does not answer any e-mails. This goes back to about 3 years ago to the present time.

Note from WK9U [02 Dec 2015]

I had sent green stamps and my qsl cards for two years he acknowledged receiving my card and said one would be mailed. I continued emailing him months later to be told that he has no cards. I know why so many Hams say no send him $ over the years.

I finally received a QSL for all of my QSO's. I think the problem is that Esmond does not have printed QSL cards. Instead, he makes each one by hand!! This explains a lot.

Note from KE6FV [23 Aug 2015]

Over the last 6 months, I have spent $15.00 trying to get a QSL from Esmond with no results. It looks like he is another green stamp collector. He needs to use PayPal and/or get a QSL manager.

Note from KF7CSO [22 Sep 2013]

I received a card about one month after I sent mine. There was a small problem on the card he sent. After an exchange of email, he sent another right out. If you are reading this, thanks Esmond!

Note from ZL2IFB [04 Jul 2012]

QSLs received direct on 2 occasions, no problem. :-)

Note from EA1DDU [17 Jun 2010]

I contact with Esmond since 1994 and direct cards arriving to me ever (3-5 months delay). For me he is a sure confirmer. Perhaps the problems that you are reporting it would be about bad post office but, with my experience, not for him.

Note from DL5AN [02 Nov 2009]

received his qsl after 5 months without problem

Note from W8NGA [10 Oct 2009]

sent $3 and received his card about a month later.

Note from VA3NA [20 May 2009]

In January 2009 Esmond contacted me and expressed concern about my post below. He asked for the dates of our QSOs (he apparently has no log, hence he returns the original QSLs) and promised his QSL. I am still waiting for it to come.

Note from SP2EBG [20 Apr 2009]

Same as above ; received back my own envelop without any explanation, 73Bob

Note from K0MDS [06 Feb 2009]

Caveat emptor. Sent a QSL direct with return postage. Received my own card back in the envelope. No explanation or not in log. Just my card. A wasted five bucks. It was a solid QSO lasting several minutes.

Note from W3HEA [03 Feb 2009]

Email is undeliverable. Anyone know about QSL MGR? Posted 2-2-2009.

Note from VA3NA [25 Dec 2008]

A QSL and return postage were sent following two contacts on 20M. He did not send his QSL and did not reply to emails. Messages dated back up to 10 years also suggest that he was and is running a money collection business.
